There is a new kind of fear in this country. The kind my generation has never known. Our borders to Canada and Mexico are closed. (The first time in our countries history we have EVER closed the borders to our neighbors in the north.) Everywhere you go, everything is locked down. Parents are here, leaving with there children. There’s a new sense of fear in this country. I feel it, you must too. How could you not? Planes crash into buildings. People jumping from skyscrapers. A foreign enemy waging war on this country…

I am opposed to war. I don’t think killing a person ever solves anything. There will always be a side that feels resentment towards the other party. So we declare war on terrorism, what’s next, Iraq? Is Mr. Bush ready and willing to take on the whole world? Where’s the United Nations in all this. You remember don’t you? The league of nations that is supposed to help those in need. Some say the organization in charge of policing the world… oh wait… that’s America’s job.

I always did really well in history. (Must be a male thing… we seem to soak this stuff up) It was Truman who said it best…”speak softly and carry a really big stick….”

So now that we’re standing on the edge of World War III, what do we do? We’ve yet to even touch the surface of our own problems at home. In case you forgot about these or your just plain stupid… I’m talking about the border jumpers (illegals) who are flooding this country every year in search of welfare and a free ride. Signs of economic slowdown. Record high-school dropout rates. Substance abuse. AND NOW PEOPLE FLYING PLANES INTO BUILDINGS RAGING HOLY WAR ON THE UNITED STATES.

I love watching the bottom of society dance around in the filthy, dirty streets of there home country thousands of miles away. Burning the American flag. Celebrating the deaths of thousands of American’s. AMERICANS… not soldiers. Mothers, fathers, husbands and wives. Brothers and sisters…

So how safe will you feel once you realize you’ve awoken a sleeping beast? How safe will you feel when the sky rains down fire from missiles launched from our aircraft carriers and destroyers in the gulf? How safe will you feel at night knowing our special forces are in the next room hog tying your husband to a chair because of his terrorist ties? You tell me. How safe will you feel when one of our missiles accidently kills your family - all because your hut is located directly next door to a weapons depo. I invite you to come to my country and burn the American flag on Times Square. You can tell me how safe you feel then…
